| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | The first time I went hunting with my dad is a memory I’ll never forget. It was early in the morning, freezing cold, and the ground was muddy and rough. But after I took my first shot and turned to see the pride in my dad’s eyes, I felt a deep connection with him and a sense of accomplishment. That moment made me feel grown-up and bonded us in a way that still means a lot to me today. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with my dad because we are very similar in both our interests and the way we think. We both enjoy the same music, sports, and even share the same taste in beer. More importantly, we value loyalty, honesty, and standing by your word. Watching him live by these values has shaped the way I see the world and taught me to be someone others can count on. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | One of the character traits I admire most is when someone keeps their word. In today’s world, people make promises easily but don’t always follow through, so I respect anyone who stands by what they say. I’ve seen this trait in my father and mentors, and it inspires me to be consistent and trustworthy in my own actions. It shows strength, discipline, and true respect for others. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | Once, I was giving a speech in front of 300 people and completely forgot everything I had prepared. I froze for a second, then just started improvising with whatever came to mind. At first, it was terrifying, but people started laughing, and I ended up making the whole room smile. It taught me that sometimes failure can turn into something fun if you don’t take yourself too seriously. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If I could go anywhere, I would travel to Finland to see the Northern Lights. I’ve always been drawn to the peacefulness of nature and the idea of seeing something so rare and beautiful in the sky feels magical to me. I imagine the experience would bring a deep sense of wonder and remind me how big and mysterious the world really is. It’s something I want to see at least once in my life. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would teach my children that every second matters, because we often waste time chasing things that don’t really matter. Life moves fast, and it's easy to get distracted by vanity, stress, or material things. I’ve learned—sometimes the hard way—that the most meaningful parts of life are simple moments with people you care about. I want them to focus on what’s real, not what just looks good. |
